Christmas time is my most favorite season of the year! I love the pretty lights, spending time with my family, giving gifts to the people I love, holiday parties with friends....but most of all showing my family how to love others and celebrate Jesus!
I wanted to post some pictures as well as some of my favorite memories from our Christmas this year:
1. Decorating the house and adding a 4th stocking to the fireplace mantle this year! ( Well...5th if we count our dog Bella's stocking) :)
2. A fun cookie exchange party with friends to kick off the holiday season -- in which I baked 11 dozen cookies! Never thought I could pull that off.
3. Baking all those cookies with my hubby, while listening to Christmas music and dancing in the kitchen!
4. An answer to prayer...Derek received a job offer and we now work together once again! So happy!!!
5. Fun times shopping, shopping, and more shopping! I just love it!
6. Picking out special ornaments for both Elise and Logan.
7. Taking the kids to pick out a special gift for Derek...and Derek did the same for me.
8. Having four different Christmas celebrations with my family all in one week!
9. Watching my 8 month old daughter open her first present and celebrate her first Christmas!
10. My husband purchasing a gift before Christmas that I had already bought him....oh, by the way, this is the second year in a row he has done that! :(
11. Watching Elise grow tired halfway through opening her presents and needed to take a break. I'm sure we won't run into that next year!
12. Watching Derek open a gift from his sister that was wrapped in a Victoria's Secret Box. :)
13. Starting new traditions with my wonderful family and taking TONS of pictures to remember these memories!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
